Longtime WNBC-TV news anchor Sue Simmons blurted an expletive on the air during a news promo Monday evening.

During the 10 p.m. hour, the station featured a brief promotion for the 11 p.m. news with Simmons and Chuck Scarborough. Simmons was teasing a story about rising grocery prices when the footage laid over her voice switched to a cruise ship that had a passenger go overboard.

That’s when Simmons blurted “What the f*** are you doing?”

The outburt was followed by nearly eight seconds of silence. When the 11 p.m. broadcast aired, Simmons offered an apology to the thousands of shocked viewers. She said:

I have to acknowledge an unfortunate incident … I used a word that many people find offensive. It was a mistake I made and I’m truly sorry.”

Check out the video below. The video is unedited so be prepared for what the viewers heard on air.
